Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Horace’s habits were not typical of a thief. He was fond of books. He used to steal only once in a year so he was never stealing more than his needs. However, an act of theft is still a crime, no matter how well a thief behaves, so this description is apt for Horace.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: iii) his finger prints was the piece of evidence against horace danby.
Detailed explanation-3: -He was allergic towards flowers which caused him ‘hay fever’ every summer. Though Horace appeared to be honest, he stole from wealthy people once a year to purchase valuable, expensive books.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Horace had removed his gloves in order to give his cigarette lighter to the lady, whom he misidentified as the mistress of the house. As a result, when he opened the safe at her request, he unintentionally left his fingerprints all over the room. 11.
